While on our 1st trip to Finland we stayed at the Scandic Paasi 3 times. Each time we left to check out other parts of Finland the held our bags in a safe location. The staff here are extremely friendly and always willing to share their knowledge. The rooms are clean and big enough to spread out your junk. Breakfast was extensive and a great way to start your day. The best part for us was the location. Just a short walk to tram, bus or train and across the road to the local markets. You can quickly immerse yourself in local life or get out to the major attractions with ease. The Scandic made our the accommodation on our holiday a pleasure.

Room Tip: Rooms on the back of the building are cooler in the summer.

We loved this hotel for our one night stay in Helsinki. My flight arrived very early and I was feeling exhausted and gross and was therefore so glad the hotel let me check in very early and therefore I was able to take a nice shower in the very clean and modern bathroom and then a much needed nap on the comfy bed!

I did get a little lost finding the place, but felt a bit stupid when I did find it. I took the metro from the Main train station and it was only 2 stops but with the suitcase, the streets can be a little tricky. The station is very close to the hotel so I would recommend this if you don't want to walk or have lots of baggage.

Breakfast was really good and extensive, loved the juice thing! All the staff were very nice and helpful. We borrowed the bikes they lend for free one evening and that was a great extra service. There is a S Market just down stairs too if you need any supplies. There are some clothing shops there too, and a McDonalds. Heaps of pubs and restaurants (and a bigger S Market with an alko) in a 5 min walk radius.

One other great thing is that the curtains over the window cover the whole window and actually block out the summer light, unlike actual Finnish houses. This was great as I really needed the sleep! And the wifi was consistent and a good speed.

The only thing I would mention is that there is no bar fridge, but this is hardly a detriment. Overall we really loved this place and will return if we ever need accommodation in Helsinki again.

My husband and I travelled to Helsinki for the first time last week. The hotel staff is extremely helpful. The rooms are spacious and clean. The included breakfast buffet is plentiful, scrumptious, and varied for many different taste buds. The staff at breakfast is also extremely accommodating. The location for us Is ideal as we prefer to be close but not in the middle of the crowded city center. The bus and tram stops outside the hotel can take you anywhere for 3 euro. (Local bus 615 to and from airport 5euro). But the best part for us are the free bike rentals. We were able to secure them (first come first serve) each day we desired. The city is designed for bike travel with thousands of km of bike paths and bike accommodations on sidewalks even in busy pedestrian areas. Finally, I recommend signing up for the Scandic card to receive discounts and vouchers.

Room Tip: You can open your window on the (higher) 6th level and not have cigarette smoke from the street draf...

Paasi is a beatiful hotel with a great location and great views of the Helsinki-city. The rooms are pretty, modern and personal. The staff makes you feel more than welcome when you enter the premises. Some of the best restaurants and cafés are just a minutes walk away - also the night-time treats of the city are very close-by.

The room was fantastic, very modern with great beds and a nice terrasse. The rain shower heads were a nice touch. The staff was great and they have free bikes you can borrow as well. It was easy to walk to many places to eat and the movie theater. The breakfast was extensive and very well marked for people with allergies. The hotel had a small recycle bin in the rooms which was great.

Room Tip: We had room 101 which didn't have much of a view but was at the end of the hallway and was very...

I could not fault this hotel on it's own. Was greated with the brightest smile on arrival and all staff are friendly and lovely. The rooms are big and clean with stylish furniture and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was fresh and scrumptious. There is a market opposite the hotel which is good. My only complain is the 20-30 minutes walk to the central, which isn't too bad as the walk is easy and relatively safe but can be a chore after a days worth of sightseeing or getting to train station.

Brand new hotel, Close to the Hakaniemi Metro stop. Rooms with various themed decor. Excellent Breakfast buffet area, more like an underground coffee shop. Location good for a walk, with adjoining restaurant from rear courtyard (serves great beers / excellent meatballs).

The stand-out feature of the hotel for us was the reception staff. Kitted out in braces and converse trainers. We had a minor crisis upon departure (left a bag in the taxi, containing home car keys, and valuables), the receptionist (a cute Red headed lady) resolved everything and the taxi met us at Helsinki Airport departures within 25 minutes. She saved the day for us, and we're eternally grateful. Thank you Scandic Paasi.
